'This Must Be the Place'

It didn't get as much theatrical distribution as most of his films, but Sean Penn remains a singular acting force in this unusual mix of personal drama and revenge tale.

The star plays a retired rock music legend who decides to patch things up with his father, but after traveling from Ireland to New York on that mission, he finds his dad has died ... before completing his targeting of a former Nazi war criminal, which the son then takes up. Frances McDormand, Judd Hirsch, Eve Hewson (daughter of U2's Bono) and music icon David Byrne also star for director Paolo Sorrentino. *** (R: AS, P) (Also on Blu-ray and On Demand)
